Thanks! Lots of "33" inch tires only measure out to 32 inches.

get some Kiwi liquid shoe polish (black of course) and do up the side walls. LOL It should last longer then paint... and will make your side walls "shiny".

Never been one to shine the tires though. to much dam work for something that just going to get dirty first anyhow.

Yeah, but the first one appears to have been the worst of the bunch. Like I said, once I got some tire shine on them, they looked much better. Still have to see how they balance, though.

Got the tires and wheels installed today and I am thrilled with the outcome. Just what I was looking for. They're a lottle tight in front, but unless I'm out doing some hardcore 4-wheeling they shouldn't be a problem. The wheels look awesome and really look way better than those Bajas they replaced. I feel no difference from the larger tire as far as performance and they are very quiet. Going on a long drive tomorrow with my GPS to see how much error there is in the speedo. Here's some pics.

Can we get some before as well?

The tire dressing REALLY helped and made them look much better.

Not a bad wheel choice as well.
